Many of you know that I am a Disney World fanatic. Some folks ask about reduced entrance tickets etc. Well this news letter often has reduced rates as you can see if you read it. You must subscribe to the newsletter to receive the discounts. We can get reduced rates up to 40% as airline employees. I know it works, I called the number a couple of weeks ago and booked a room. I used my son's WDW cast member discount since I don't have to fax info etc. To get the discount you will call the phone number I'll give in a minute. However, be sure that you can get either the pass bureau or the admin office to fax a "letter of good standing" to them within 24 hours. The room is booked with a credit card and if the "letter" is not received you will be charged the full rate. The number to call is 1-407-828-3111. You can get reduced room rates and reduced cruise rates. Check out the website http://www.mousesavers.com for more information.

Frontier employees-and all I had to do was call pass bureau and they faxed a letterhead of employment to the resort.....so EASY! Gina Chapin - January 2010:
Just to piggyback. Clarification...You call 1-407-828-3111 (Disney Interline Travel) to book the room(s). If available you get up to 50% off!!! The price is charged to your card. You must fax a copy of your badge from Frontier within 24 hours. The rate will default to the full price if it is not received. The value resorts start at $92.00 a night. $41.00 beats anything else you can get. Included it free transportation from the airport to your resort and back on Disney's Magical Express coach busses. You then use the free transportation within the parks. You can also get discount $$ on Disney Cruises. This is an interline agreement and is industry wide. Well worth it!

Some DisneyWorld Preparatory Tips: 1) Buy your ticket and ParkHopper pass in advance. 2) download the My Disney Experience App on your phone to check ride wait times and make restaurant reservations on the fly. 3) Prioritize the top five rides that you want to ride in each park. and 4) Arrive at the Will-Call window before 8:30 AM on your morning there.
Here's the iconic one-day DisneyWorld experience for anyone over 40 inches in height: Get to the Magic Kingdom before 9:00 AM to see the opening of the park's gates, then race to Tomorrowland's Space Mountain, which has hours long lines later on -- at this early hour, you'll breeze right onto the thrill ride before hopping off and walking five minutes to Frontierland and Splash Mountain, which has an exciting free fall finish. From there, you could do Thunder Mountain, a woodsy rollar coaster, or cross into Adventureland to see Jack Sparrow bestowing piratehood on groups of gigglinhg kids; while there, ride Pirates of the Caribbean, updated a few years ago. Fantasyland has attractions for the little ones: Peter Pan's Flight, the Mad Tea Party, and the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, where little girls get transformed into lipstick princesses (Call ahead 407-939-7895; updos from $55.00). In the afternoon, there's Epcot, where you'll pick up a Fastpass to Soarin', which simulates the sights, scents, and feelings of a hang-glide over California. The Fastpass will specify a time to skip most of the line. So, you can eat lunch in the meantime and also try Mission Space, which takes you on a turbulent trip to Mars. Then board the ferry to Disney Hollywood Studios to end your day with Walt's pride and joy -- the perfectly produced live shows Voyage of the Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast -- and onelast bit of excitement: the thrilling Rock N' Rollercoaster, which has a sound track by Aerosmith. Once the sun sets, location is everything: You must be in position to see the nightly fireworks show over the Magic Kingdom's iconic castle. The place to be for this is the California Grill, which has tables overlooking the fireworks and an open-air viewing platform. The park's music streams into the restaurant so you can appreciate the choreography and the food. Restaurant Marrakesh is one of the most memorable places to eat lunch in Epcot because of the belly dancers and the kebabs, couscous, and baklava. Teppan Edo serves maki and sushi. Le Cellier Steakhouse serves steaks.
